McAfee here identified it as EXPLOIT-CODEBASE, but this is listed as
known
in their dictionary since 2002. May be a misidentification on
engine's
part. No cleaner was yet available. Checking with McAfee Avert and
WebImmune.

We are getting flooded with these little puppies, does anyone have any
additional info on what this thing does once it infects a host?
I'll be infecting a box to test myself after i send this email but if
anyone has done testing already it would great to hear your input.

Norton have released a Def for this and identify the virus as
WORM_MIMAIL.A
(http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/
w32.mimail.amm.html)

If any one would like a copy of the original code you can get it at
